CF Montreal vs Nashville SC predicted formations

CF Montreal host Nashville SC at Stade Saputo on Saturday, October 24 (1:30 PM ET / 12:30 PM CT / 10:30 AM PT).

CF Montreal will lean heavily on Prince Osei Owusu up top, with the striker’s 15 goals from 69 shots the clearest route to goal for a struggling side, while attacking midfielder Wikelman Carmona and defensive midfielder Matthew Longstaff look to supply the ammunition from deeper. Nashville SC, true to recent weeks, should field the spine that has carried them to the top of the East: Samuel Surridge leading the line off Hany Mukhtar’s creativity, with Cristian Espinoza and Warren Madrigal rotating through the attacking midfield positions in support.

    CF Montreal vs Nashville SC Prediction

    Signal’s model lands on a 0-1 away win for Nashville SC, and the numbers back a tight finish rather than a blowout. Nashville top the Eastern Conference with 66 points from 20 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, firmly the best team in the league heading into the business end of the season. CF Montreal, 15th in the East on 24 points with a -24 goal difference, have struggled to find consistency at either end of the field. Expect Nashville’s quality to tell in a low-scoring, tightly contested match at Saputo Stadium, with Samuel Surridge or Hany Mukhtar the most likely source of the only goal. Final score: CF Montreal 0-1 Nashville SC.
